Common sense prevailed last night... the campaign against the current plans gained momentum and became so toxic for LBWF. This is another example of big decisions being made by small groups in closed rooms... Local Democracy can't work this way anymore. With the power of Facebook residents groups and Twitter.. this Council needs to realise it must stop doing things TO residents and start doing things WITH residents!

Cllr Ahsan Khan really needs to start engaging with residents, seemingly stonewalling constituents on this front from day one of this year. He has thus far proved elusive to get hold of and won't engage at all. Even refusing an invitation to go on BBC Live Drive Time radio to explain his position... Hello? Anyone there Portfolio Holder for Health & Leisure Services?
